Crossing Point (2016): Plot, Cast, Streaming, and the Book with the Same Title

Crossing Point usually means Daniel Zirilli’s 2016 thriller about a kidnapped woman, a forced cocaine run and a Tijuana investigation—but James Glickman wrote a separate historical novel with the same title.

Crossing Point most commonly refers to Daniel Zirilli’s 2016 action-mystery thriller, in which an American man is forced to smuggle cocaine across the border after his partner is kidnapped in Baja. It is also the title of a separate historical novel by James Glickman, so the year and creator matter when identifying the work.

What is Crossing Point (2016) about?

The film follows Michael and Olivia, an American couple vacationing in Baja. When Olivia is kidnapped, Michael is ordered to transport cocaine across the Mexico–United States border to secure her release. The story unfolds under a reported 12-hour deadline while police in Tijuana investigate the kidnapping.

Rotten Tomatoes classifies the 92-minute film as Action, Mystery & Thriller. The combination of a ticking clock, forced criminal involvement and a cross-border investigation drives the plot.

James Glickman also wrote a historical novel titled Crossing Point. It is not an adaptation of the film. The book follows Guy Watson, an enslaved man from Rhode Island who serves with the American army and travels toward Quebec during the Revolutionary War.

What does “crossing point” mean?

In ordinary English, a crossing point is a place where people cross a road, border or river. The film’s title fits its border setting, while the novel uses the phrase in a historical journey context. The title by itself does not identify which work someone means.
